They are supposed to be DID rims with no name on them.

I guess that since there is no news that Barcia's Yamaha contract must be thru the end of October.

My understanding is that the big reason companies go MotoGP racing are sales in China, India and other eastern markets. Which are by the way much bigger than the US market. MotoGP and Dakar are big deals in eastern markets. Its why Honda went back to ... more »
